    b_manage_07_a: Record write Failure

    Job Suspended !!!

    =======================================================

    Exiting due to job suspension.
    end

    Resolution:
    The failure of p_manage_07 was caused by duplicate keys. Based on the $data_scratch run_e_01 log, it appears that ue_01 had been restarted and had updated some z13's. When manage_07 got to that point, it could not write the record.

    p_manage_07 stops the ue daemons. You need to make sure that anyone working on this server understands that p_manage_07 is being run and doesn't try to restart ue_01. In v18-up, you can prevent anyone from restarting the ue's by doing util w/5 and toggling the ue's which run in this library to DOWN. Note: This stops the UE's in ALL libraries.

    You must also make sure that no one tries to update the xxx60 HOL records in Cataloging -- or take the pc_server down while the job is running.

    Note: You will need to toggle the ue's back UP when the job is done, and restart each of the ue's in each library where it was toggled down.
